Schwartz: Writing A Lab of My Own. I started working on the book 10 years ago because no one had documented the feminist movement in science.

Margaret Rossiter's foundational books on the history of women in American science were published in 1984 and 1998, but IIRC they are pretty darned heteronormative. I just did a google books search in them for "lesbian," "gay," and "homosexual," and got no hits. Still essential reading for anyone interested in the general topic of women in science, though.

Here I am, sorry I didn't see this until today. Thanks for posting, magstheaxe.

(One slight correction: Other than Schwartz, the other interviews were done by a wonderful gay evolutionary biologist, Jeremy Yoder. The whole package was cooked up with the help of BoingBoing's brilliant science editor, Maggie Koerth-Baker.)

I felt honored to talk to a pioneering scientist like Neena Schwartz.

By the way, I haven't mentioned it on MetaFilter yet, but a few weeks ago I launched a blog on the Public Library of Science called NeuroTribes. I'll be focusing on science, culture, and neurodiversity. MetaFilter readers might enjoy the exclusive interview I did last week at Wired.com with Ari Ne'eman, the first openly autistic Presidential appointee (and one of the youngest) in history. It's a very outspoken interview.posted by digaman at 2:44 PM on October 12, 2010
